No silos

“The most important thing any Christian Scientist can do right now,” a friend offered, “is to stop living in silos.”

My friend was using the word silos in its business application to organizational divisions that operate independently and avoid sharing information and even methods. He was referring to how we sometimes silo off different parts of our lives.

“There’s me at work, me at home, and me at church,” he said. Right, I thought. For instance, there’s the inspired person grasping some epiphany about God’s love on Sunday morning, and then there’s that same person reacting when they get cut off by another driver on the highway. Those two states of thought can seem to exist and operate independently within a single individual.
